Establishing shot of Middleton High School. "Home of Double-Cheese Pizza" is the notice on the Reader Board.
----
Middleton High's Cafeteria. Students amble about, some with pizza slices in hand.
Kim, Ron, Rufus and Monique are seated together at a table near the door.
Kim and Monique scowl in unison as Ron and Rufus noisily scarf down slices of Double-Cheese pizza.
Ron licks his plate clean. Burps.
RON: Ah, alrighty then!
MONIQUE: Ugh, just lost my appetite.
KIM: Same here... Ron!
Ron glances up at Kim.
KIM: Face-stuffing, why?
RON: Uh, there is no 'why' in double-cheese pizza day.
RUFUS: Cheese!
KIM: But it's cardboard caf' pizza.
RON: Cheese on cardboard is still cheese.
MONIQUE: Got you there.
RON: Ready for thirds?
RUFUS: Me, me! Me, me!
Ron waltzes over to the Cafeteria Lady with his lunch tray.
RON: Uh, could you hold the crusts this time?
She scoops a blob of grey mystery meat onto his plate.
RON: Huh. The dream is over...
Rufus whines.
Ron and the Cafeteria Lady are suddenly started by a glowing, indistinct figure. Floating behind the cafeteria counter.
Ron screams, abandoning his tray of mystery meat.
RON: AH! Polterghost!
He dashes between Kim and Monique for safety.
MONIQUE: Cafeteria lady cut you off again?
RON: Yes, but that's not why I'm wigged!
KIM: Mmm, too much cheese.
Ron pops up.
RON: Woah KP, first there is no such thing as too much cheese. And second--
Screams break out in the cafeteria. Drawing the attention of Kim, Ron and Monique.
Ron ducks between them.
RON: Those aren't the usual mystery meat screams, ladies.
Kim dashes through a crowd of students gathered around the counter. Ron and Monique follow.
The ghostly figure is still floating behind the counter.
Ron hides behind Kim, gesturing to the ghost.
RON: See, see! That's just... that's not right!
Dauntless, Kim walks closer to it.
KIM: Okay, agreed.
She raises a hand to her chin, contemplatively.
KIM: Whatever it is. It's... writing something...
MONIQUE: In mystery meat gravy! Uh!
A ghostly appendage scrawls in grey gravy on the cafeteria wall.
KIM: R... O... N.
Kim glances to Monique.
KIM: Uh-Oh.
Ron approaches, hands covering his eyes.
RON: Please tell me it's writing Ron Reiger. Please tell me it's writing Ron Reiger, you know, that kid whose always cutting gym? This could be about that...
RON REIGER: Dude.
RON: Reiger?
RON REIGER: It's about you.
Ron Reiger points to the wall.
The words RON STOPPABLE are scrawled in dripping gravy.
Ron screams.
